Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software
So we have shared usage of it and for us we really just implement rules and it to block allowed, deny whatever it is, traffic within our network.
- We typically just use it to block traffic. It does what it is supposed to.
- We just use it to monitor, block, allow. Blocks at the layer three.
- Management, I would say a single pane of management that works would be good. Similar to the FTD, the FMC, being able to manage objects and security group objects in one pane. That would be good for the firewall versus having to manually create objects and monitor them across several different firewalls across several different contexts.
I've used the Firepower to a small extent. It's way better. It does up to layer seven. It does a lot more inspection. It does URL filter. It does IPS, it does antibody, it does all the things that the ASA doesn't do.
